Hello,

My computer started acting funny and I started to receive all types of error messages.

• I tried to do a system restore and that is when I noticed that there were no  existing restore points created for my computer. 
• So I decided to manually create a restore point. The computer went through the process of creating the restore point and I received a message saying that the restore point was completed successfully, but then I do not see it.
• I restarted my computer and went to the system restore option, but there was no restore points.
• I created several manual restore points ,but all of them keep disappearing.

Can anyone explain, what the cause of this can be? Thanks folks.

Hi all,

I recently had a problem with my laptop which has Windows 7 Home Edition installed on it. At that point I needed to log onto my system using the local administrator account. That is when i discovered that the local administrator account is disabled. I could not understand why. This is not the case with Windows XP Professional. I looked for the option to manage the local accounts ,but could not find that option.

I later understood that the Home Edition of Windows 7 does not have the option to manage local accounts in Computer Management. I would like to know how to enable the local administrator account on Windows 7 Home Edition. Thank you!

Hi.

I have a POP 3 account configured in Microsoft Outlook 2007. I have Windows Vista installed on my computer.

I am receiving emails in Outlook, but sometimes i receive double and triple copies of the same emails in Outlook. At certain times, i would not receive double or triple copies of the same emails ,but i would receive double or triple copies of a specific email from specific recipients. I would like to know why Outlook is downloading the same email message multiple times and how this can be prevented. 

Hi,

My computer shuts down unexpectedly, while i am in the middle of working. It just power offs. 

I turned it back on and after beeping ,it displayed the following message: CPU was shutdown due to a thermal event.

I then have the option to proceed with starting up the computer normally or to enter set-up of the system. 

A few times it failed to start back up and the only way i was able to get it back on was to remove the power cable from the power supply and plugging it back in.

I think that my computer is overheating and i tried installing a CPU cooler, but the one that i purchased did not fit.

What exactly do i need to do to prevent my computer from overheating?

Hi,

I have a Toshiba Satellite L305D laptop. When I put my laptop on, it does not go on. 

When i press on the power button, the battery light on my laptop blinks 6 times and thereafter nothing happens. The laptop does not go on.

The color of the battery light is orange. I know for a fact that my laptop battery is not good anymore. I have not been using my laptop without it being plugged into power.

Yesterday, I plugged it in but it just did not want to start up. If the battery is no longer good the laptop should at least still work when plugging into a power outlet.

Is the power adapter maybe defect?

Please advice.

Hi folks,

I recently upgraded from Microsoft Office 2003 to Microsoft Office 2007. A little while after that my computer was infected. The infection was removed by AVG Antivirus which is installed on my computer.

Thereafter, I noticed that i am not able to open nor am i able to save PDF attachments sent to me in emails. Microsoft Outlook is my default email client. 

When i try opening the attachments, I receive an error message saying that the attachment could not be opened.

So once again if i double clicked on the file ,I cannot open it. If i try to copy or save it ,I cannot also do that.

I already reinstalled Adobe Reader X on my computer ,but this did not help.

Help needed.

Hi,

Not too long ago I received a message on my computer informing me that my computer was infected and that i should download and install a security application to remove the infections. I did download  and install the application. However, I found out later that the application was actually a fake. It was not a real antivirus nor security program.

Thankfully, I was able to remove the fake security application, but since then I am not able to open any programs. The only way I can open programs is by using the task manager.

I have also noticed that, i cannot install applications.

What can be the cause of this and how can it be solved?

I have Windows XP Professional installed on my computer. 

Thanking you.

Hi all,

After updating to Mozilla Firefox 4.0, my computer started to act strange. I was receiving different types of errors and Mozilla Firefox kept crashing. To resolve this problem I did a system restore.

The system restore restored my computer to the previous day.

The problem is that now ,when I click on an icon on my desktop, I get the option to open the icon with the "Open With" dialog box.

I also tried opening icons via the Control Panel but I get an error which says:

"C:WINDOWSsystem32rundll32.exe application not found.

Could my computer be infected or did the Firefox installation corrupted my operating system. Is there a way to solve this problem without a clean installation?
